Transition Kings Cliffe
What is the Transition Movement?
A Transition Initiative (which could be a town, village, university
or island etc.) is a community-led response to the pressures of
climate change, fossil fuel depletion (resulting in ever rising
fuel prices) and increasingly, economic decline.
TKC is Now Officially Part of the Global Transition
Network!
This is a great landmark and gives us access to a wealth of
information, advice, and like-minded people. Check out the Transition

Our Concerns
A collection of motivated individuals within Kings Cliffe have
come together with a shared concern about several crucial points:

- The time to act is now. Government and big business are reacting

that we can create a way of living that's significantly more connected,
more vibrant and more in touch with our natural environment than

globally, acting locally. To date we have launched several activites:
